Thank you all, for taking advantage of this free campaign and accompanying resources. Please help spread the word, as we need as many people on board as possible in order to make this really effective for our community. We all want our economy to begin to Bounce Back!

Benefits Resulting From This Initiative if Leveraged Properly by Businesses:

The more businesses that can get involved in Lee County Bounce Back, the better. There are a plethora of benefits associated with a campaign when executed correctly. As this is a community service endeavor and a collaborative initiative, many businesses need to participate in order to see results - in the form of customers shopping local and boosting our economy.

Key benefits are outlined below:

• The more people that get on board quickly, the faster and louder our message can be heard. As a result, awareness will increase within the community, resulting in consumers becoming familiar with the campaign message and making “shop local” top of mind.
• The more businesses on the Lee County Bounce Back website, displaying their offers, the sooner Inner Spark can start paid advertising for this campaign. Inner Spark has allocated a budget to spend on this campaign to help all local businesses and drive traffic to stores.
• The purpose of the Lee County Bounce Back paid social media campaign (Facebook/Instagram) is to target local consumers, encouraging them to shop local and to visit the website to see offers from all their favorite local stores. This campaign is designed to drive traffic to local businesses, but will not be effective until we have a number of businesses utilizing the website. The more valuable the website is to a consumer as a central resource to see all offers, the more successful the campaign will be.
